I'm sure others had to put up with your public tantrums. It takes a proverbial village - raising kids, whether or not one participates directly or not, is part of survival of the species. Letting his kid cry for 15 minutes is better than... Giving in. The short-term pain pays off, and actually fairly quickly. Do you

What about Buckminster Fuller (cool engineering) or Caroll Shelby (insanely fast)?

I'd like to think that a plane older than I am manages to continue to deliver. A fine investment. Team America, F-yeah!

I'd invest. Take my money, Mr Bond.

...cogent description of torrents. I did a pilot at the National Institutes of Health to host the public human genome data set via BitTorrent a few years ago - a demonstration that such technologies are not just a haven for pirates.

...Features Apple patented... At least, some ;-)

The government paid for the original internet (Arpanet), but universities built it, with help from Ma Bell. Not to be pedantic, but, oh hell, ok, to be pedantic.

Amortization is amortization — if not for impossible calculations thanks to silly calendars, we wouldn't have the HP-10c or Visicalc. Besides, variety is the spice of life. I'm always extra happy when my b-day falls on a weekend!
